Could anyone who trained long enough attain the physical prowess attributed to Batman? "The question may be simple, but as we shall see, the answers are not," states neuroscientist E. Paul Zehr, who examines such diverse disciplines as genetics, weight training, the martial arts, and gerontology to prove that being a superhero is a more than fulltime job. Utilizing humor, graphs, diagrams, and plenty of quotes from the comics, Zehr's book will give you a new appreciation of Gotham's Dark Knight.
